Sex Crimes

Our firm has experience representing criminal defendants

Child Molestation / Lewd Conduct with a Minor

Criminal Defense Attorney Shaun Khojayan has effectively represented many clients who were facing serious child molestation and sexual battery charges. While the police are quick to believe children who make molestation allegations, the truth is that this is often not the case and there are children who are malingering or simply making up events. This Firm will hire the required investigators and experts to defend against these devastating sex crimes accusations.

Rape and Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is the use of actual or threatened physical force to coerce another person into engaging in unwanted sexual activities. This Firm defends against all types of sexual assault and rape accusations including Statutory Rape and Spousal Rape. There are many factual aspects of each case that need to be investigated and analyzed to defend against these accusations. Consent can be an issue in some cases. Further, each element of the charge must be attacked and defended against. Proper investigators and experts will be hired to fully defend each case. You deserve the best defense. This Firm can provide that to you.

Child Pornography, Computer Sex Crimes and Online Solicitation

My Firm and I defend individuals against accusations of the possession and/or distribution of child pornography. Complex defenses can be raised to these charges to both the elements of the offenses and the sentencing issues. Sometimes the accused had no role in placing the images on the computer. For example, computer viruses or other users could have placed them on the computer, as was the case in a prior case that this Firm handled. Indeed, the prosecutor must prove that the accused knowingly distributed child pornography.

These computer crimes require the expertise of computer forensics, investigators, and knowledgeable experts such as psychologists to help understand and reduce or dismiss charges. I have personally defended individuals against these harsh sentences and know the intricate laws and defenses that apply to these situations to help you avoid these unfair charges and penalties.
